Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao-Algieri Being Finalized, Manny Likes It

[PRchamp]

Why is this fight scheduled so late? November 22nd that's 4 months away this fight should happen in 2 months so we can get it over with already.

In 2014 Pacquiao didn't do jack to recover from the Marquez KO. He's fought nothing feather fisted fighters.

So let's guess the purse for Algieri? How much more do they offer him to accept?

[tangalog2200]

I used to think Manny wasn't as dumb as I thought. I am convinced he really is that dumb. I mean any time you make at least $20 million you're obviously considered successful. But...he can make more than that by fighting Khan, not to mention go up against someone who isn't going to run or move as much as Algieri.

I know it's too late now but why didn't Arum aim for Maidana? According to Arum and Oscar the cold war is supposedly over. If they had gotten Maidana for Pac, it would have put Floyd in between a rock and a hard place. Isn't that what Arum loves to see? If Pac knocked out Maidana...that would definitely one-up FMJ. Matthysse would've been a great 2nd or 3rd option. Thurman is exciting and unbeaten and available. I mean c'mon. I don't hate Algieri but he should not be 1st or 2nd option.

fighting maidana is fighting floyd's left over,,,

algieri still has 0,,,pure unadulterated 0...a ****** in the true sense....

and he's young...

floyd's 0 is only on paper...for truly he lost b4...

anyway, pac is just getting into the habit of taking those 0s away....

preparing for taking out floyd's half token ******ity..ha!

Manny would like it itll be an EASY night wayyyyy to easy but as for his legacy its bad this will be his 4th fight an outta those 4 only 1 is worth anything but we all saw him beat timmy already an knew hed do it again this bum who has literally won 1 fight worth anything nothin befor prov no other titles in other weights nothin now he lands pac that aint cuz a prov wins its cuz it is the safest fight he has ever took in his career in a time where his division is stacked with wayyyyyy better fighters champions but nooo[ lets get a one hit wonder from 140 .......AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
SMH MANNY!!!!!!!!!

This is why I was confused when Pacquiao signed the extension with Top Rank. They have no fighters for Pacquiao anywhere from 140-147. He could have went the free agent route like Cotto did and fought for both. His name is big enough to get him any Golden Boy fighter and there are far more possibilities; Amir Khan, Marcos Maidana, Robert Guerrero, Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, Devon Alexander, Keith Thurman, Lucas Matthysse, Adrien Broner, Lamont Peterson and the list goes on maybe a clash with Canelo or Lara at 152 catchweight or Angulo or Trout (unlikely but still). And maybe without Arum in the way the clash with Floyd (even more unlikely). Signing with TR limited his options to; Marquez 5, a Bradley rematch, Algieri, Provodnikoz (unlikely both trained by Roach), and Mike Alvarado...or a future fight with Mikey Garcia lol... there is a HUGE gap in talent/marketability from one company to the next. Resigning with TR was just a bad move. Pacquiao TKO 3 over Algieri lol.

Woooooow... and I thought Lara, being the coward that he is, was a bad PPV opponent. This is just horrible.
